APPLICANT REQUESTS: In effect, that his records be corrected to show that he was inducted into the Army at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, vice Fort Meade, Maryland.
APPLICANT STATES: The applicant made no statement.
EVIDENCE OF RECORD: The applicant's military records were lost or destroyed in the National Personnel Records Center fire of 1973. Information herein was obtained from alternate sources.
The applicant's WD AGO Form 53-55 (Enlisted Record and Report of Separation) shows that he was inducted into the Army on 11 December 1941 at Fort Meade, Maryland. It shows that his permanent address for mailing purposes was Loretto, Pennsylvania. He was discharged on 7 October 1945 at Indiantown Gap Military Reservation (IGMR) in Pennsylvania.
The applicant's Final Payment – Work Sheet (War Department Form 372A) shows that he was inducted into the Army at Cresson, Pennsylvania and discharged at IGMR.
On 27 November 2002, in response to an inquiry from a Member of Congress (MC), the Army Reserve Personnel Command informed the MC that the applicant had an incomplete and reconstructed record, and that his final payment worksheet showed that he was inducted at Cresson, Pennsylvania, for which Fort Meade was the closest military installation. That command requested that the applicant submit any documents showing that his place of entry was Fort Bragg.
On behalf of the applicant, the MC submitted a copy of the applicant's motor vehicle operator's permit issued to him on 21 January 1942 at Fort Bragg. On 8 January 2003 the Army Reserve Personnel Command informed the MC that the permit did not indicate Fort Bragg as his place of entry, and also informed him that the applicant should apply to this Board if he feels that an error or injustice exists.
DISCUSSION: Considering all the evidence, allegations, and information presented by the applicant, together with the evidence of record, applicable law and regulations, it is concluded:
1. The applicant has submitted neither probative evidence nor a convincing argument in support of his request. Absent evidence to the contrary, his record is correct.
2. In order to justify correction of a military record the applicant must show to the satisfaction of the Board, or it must otherwise satisfactorily appear, that the record is in error or unjust. The applicant has failed to submit evidence that would satisfy that requirement.
3. In view of the foregoing, there is no basis for granting the applicant's request.
DETERMINATION: The applicant has failed to submit sufficient relevant evidence to demonstrate the existence of probable error or injustice.

On 13 May 1964, the applicant’s commander submitted a recommendation to discharge the applicant from the service under the provisions of Army Regulation 635-208 for unfitness. The U.S. Court of Appeals, observing that applicants to the Army Discharge Review Board (ADRB) are by statute allowed 15 years to apply there, and that this Board's exhaustion requirement (Army Regulation 15-185, paragraph 2-8), effectively shortens that filing period, has determined that the 3 year limit on filing to...
